Definitions

  • the present invention relates to wireless communications, and in particular to channel mapping in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system.
  • orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is a multi-carrier transmission technique
  • the available spectrum is divided into many sub-carriers, each being modulated by data at a relatively low data rate.
  • OFDM supports multiple access by allocating different sub-carriers to different users.
  • the sub-carriers for OFDM are orthogonal and closely spaced to provide an efficient spectrum.
  • Each narrow band sub-carrier is modulated using various modulation formats, such as quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
  • OFDM modulation is provided using an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT). Initially, data for transmission is mapped into quadrature-based symbols that are encoded onto the individual sub-carriers.
  • IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transform
  • An IFFT is performed on the set of modulated sub-carriers to produce an OFDM symbol in the time domain: Typically, a cyclic prefix is created and appended to the beginning of the OFDM symbol before it is amplified and transmitted.
  • the OFDM symbols are processed using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to recover the modulated sub-carriers, from which the transmitted symbols can be recovered and decoded to arrive at the transmitted data.
  • FFT fast Fourier transform
  • each circle represents a sub-carrier for a sequence of OFDM symbols.
  • Each row represents the sub-carriers associated with an OFDM symbol, and each OFDM symbol is transmitted in sequence over time.
  • users 1 and 2 require a voice service, wherein users 3 and 4 require data and video services, respectively.
  • the voice services require lower data rate than the data services, while the video service requires the most resources.
  • the groups of sub-carriers dedicated to voice such as that for users 1 and 2 are less than that for users 3 and 4.
  • User 4 is using as much of the spectrum as the first three users combined.
  • mapping of user data to various sub-carriers is repetitive and consistent. Due to the significant variations in the communication channel, especially for the frequency selective fading channel, and interference over the time-frequency plane, such multiple access mapping results in a different carrier-to-interference ratio for each user. The different carrier-to-interference ratios will lead to unequal degradation of performance for each user.
  • frequency-hopping schemes have been employed to systematically remap the groups of sub-carriers associated with each user to different points in the time-frequency plane, as illustrated in Figure 2 .
  • users are assigned one or more transmission blocks consisting of a set number of sub-carriers within a set number of adjacent OFDM symbols.
  • a user does not necessarily transmit on the same sub-carrier group for every OFDM symbol, but will jump to a different sub-carrier after a period of time based on the defined hopping pattern.
  • the sub-carrier hopping scheme illustrated in Figure 2 improves the performance over the fixed time-frequency allocation illustrated in Figure 1 ; however, the performance could be further improved if the diversity across the whole band were fully exploited.
  • the present invention provides a technique for supporting variable bitrate services in an OFDM environment while minimizing the impact of the variations of fading channels and interference.
  • a basic access channel (BACH) is defined by a set number of sub-carriers over multiple OFDM symbols. While the number of sub-carriers remains fixed for the BACH, the sub-carriers for any given BACH will hop from one symbol to another.
  • the BACH is defined by a hopping pattern for a select number of sub-carriers over a sequence of symbols.
  • the BACH has the following attributes.
  • the BACH is formed by a group of sub-carriers distributed across several OFDM symbols as described above. In each OFDM symbol, 2 n sub-carriers are assigned to a given BACH, where n is an integer.
  • the sub-carriers in the BACH are equally spaced in the frequency domain and distributed across the entire frequency band.
  • a subset fast Fourier transform FFT
  • the subset FFT reduces the computational complexity associated with a full range FFT capable of operating over the entire OFDM symbol to recover each of the sub-carriers associated with the OFDM symbol, instead of just those associated with the BACH.
  • a pseudo-random pattern is employed for sub-carrier mapping for the BACHs from one OFDM symbol to the next to effectively distribute the BACH across the whole band of sub-carriers as efficiently as possible.
  • space-time coding STC
  • the sub-carriers associated with a BACH over consecutive OFDM symbols within a given STC block will remain the same to keep the STC-related information together.
  • the number of services and number of users supported by the system can be dynamically adjusted based on the number of BACHs assigned to a user and scheduling.
  • the minimum access channel is a BACH
  • the channel for a select user is often composed of several BACHs.
  • the number of BACHs occupied by the user is determined by throughput requirements.
  • a voice channel may only need one BACH, while high-speed data transmissions may need several BACHs.
  • throughput rates may be further controlled.
  • each base station will use a pseudo-random or different pre-determined allocation sequence for BACH mapping of multiple users to reduce collisions between BACHs of different cells.
  • the present invention provides a technique for supporting variable bitrate services in an OFDM environment while minimizing the impact of channel variations and interference.
  • a basic access channel (BACH) is defined by a set number of sub-carriers over multiple OFDM symbols. While the number of sub-carriers remains fixed for the BACH, the sub-carriers for any given BACH will hop from one symbol to another.
  • the BACH is defined by a hopping pattern for a select number of sub-carriers over a sequence of symbols.
  • each BACH is associated with a group of sub-carriers, which may or may not hop from one symbol to the next depending on the mapping scheme.
  • data for a given user is associated with one or more BACHs, depending on the necessary throughput.
  • a single BACH is sufficient to support voice communication, wherein multiple BACHs may be allocated to a given user to support higher throughput data and video services.
  • the allocation of BACHs to users may dynamically vary depending on the required throughput.
  • throughput rates may also depend on how data for the user is scheduled and the frequency at which data is scheduled.
  • data may be scheduled for a first group of users associated with a BACH during a first transmission time slot, and a second group of users associated with the same BACH during a subsequent time slot.
  • the BACH has the following attributes.
  • the BACH is formed by a group of sub-carriers distributed across several OFDM symbols as described above. In each OFDM symbol, 2 n sub-carriers are assigned to a given BACH, where n is an integer.
  • the sub-carriers in the BACH are equally spaced in the frequency domain and distributed across the whole band.
  • a subset fast Fourier transform FFT
  • the subset FFT reduces the computational complexity associated with a full range FFT capable of operating over the entire OFDM symbol to recover each of the sub-carriers associated with the OFDM symbol, instead of just those associated with the BACH.
  • a pseudo-random pattern is employed for sub-carrier mapping for the BACHs from one OFDM symbol to the next to effectively distribute the BACH across the whole band of sub-carriers as efficiently as possible.
  • space-time coding STC
  • the sub-carriers associated with a BACH over consecutive OFDM symbols within a given STC block will remain the same to keep the STC-related information together.
  • the number of services and number of users supported by the system can be dynamically adjusted based on the number of BACHs assigned to a user and scheduling.
  • the minimum access channel is a BACH
  • the channel for a select user is often composed of several BACHs.
  • the number of BACHs occupied by the user is determined by throughput requirements.
  • a voice channel may only need one BACH, while high-speed data transmissions may need several BACHs.
  • the BACHs are assigned to that user such that the sub-carriers associated with the given BACHs at any given time are separated from each other as much as possible on the time-frequency plane.
  • the BACHs assigned to a common user are selected to maximize the separation among sub-carriers.
  • Figure 4 represents a simplified embodiment, wherein four BACHs (BACH 0 through BACH 3), which have four sub-carriers each, are illustrated over a small portion of a time-frequency plane. As illustrated, each sub-carrier within any given BACH is separated by a sub-carrier in both time and frequency.
  • the BACHs will be grouped as either BACH 0 and BACH 1 or as BACH 2 and BACH 3.
  • the combinations of either BACH 0 and BACH 1 or BACH 2 and BACH 3 provide sub-carrier allocation that is optimally distributed over the time-frequency plane. As such, the sub-carrier separation is maximized for any given user.
  • the process of maximizing separation among sub-carriers for a group of BACHs assigned to a single user is referred to as the maximum distance partition rule. If the user requires all four BACHs (0 through 3), all of the sub-carriers in the illustrated embodiment are allocated to the user via the four BACHs (0 through 3).
  • each base station will use a pseudo-random or different pre-determined allocation sequence for BACH mapping of multiple users to reduce collisions between BACHs of different cells.
  • BACHs are defined throughout the OFDM spectrum
  • user data can be allocated to the various BACHs as illustrated in Figure 5 .
  • data for the various users are efficiently and evenly distributed throughout the time-frequency plane.
  • the voice applications of users 1 and 2 use only half the resources of the data service associated with user 3.
  • the video application associated with user 4 receives twice the resources as the data application of user 3.
  • the mapping index of Figure 5 illustrates how data is indexed to the BACHs assigned to each user over time, as well as how data is scheduled for each user.
  • the number of BACHs and frequency of scheduling affects throughput in a defined manner.
  • sub-carrier mapping is controlled according to a pattern known by both the transmitter and receiver.
  • V-BLAST V-BLAST
  • This technique is referred to as layer hopping, wherein the data stream for a given user is alternatively mapped to a different transmit antenna according to a certain pattern.
  • the BACH assignment for each user's service can hop between the different BLAST layers.
  • An effective way to implement such a system is to use a simple time reversal pattern of a time-frequency plane, and apply that pattern to a second layer for transmission through a second antenna. Accordingly, the BACHs for any given OFDM symbols transmitted from the respective antennas are unique in their sub-carriers, as well as data.
  • An example time reversal scheme is illustrated in Figure 6 , wherein the BACH indexing for the time-frequency plan of Figure 5 is transmitted through antenna A, and the time reversal of that plan is transmitted through antenna B.
  • antenna switching may be used to effectively provide spatial diversity when MIMO or MISO systems are working under 1x1 or 1xM configurations.
  • Antenna switching-based BACH assignment for single input single output (SISO) or single input multiple output (SIMO) transmissions refers to a technique wherein during for a first time slot the BACHs assigned to a user are transmitting through one antenna, and for the next slot the transmissions are switched to another antenna.
  • the above multiplexing techniques based on BACHs provide significant performance gain when the system is not fully loaded. Gains can also be achieved when the system is fully loaded, such as when the BACH units are fully utilized throughout the time-frequency plane.
  • a controlled reuse of the BACHs may be implemented wherein BACHs for additional users are overlaid on top of the time-frequency plane, and in particular on top of existing BACHs.
  • the overlay of the BACH will cause collision of the corresponding BACHs, and therefore intra-cell interference; however, by exploiting adaptive coding and modulation with powerful forward error correction, the collision loss can be minimized and the additional throughput gain can be achieved.
  • BACH overlay a key aspect is to reuse and control allocation in the space-time-frequency dimension of the BACH overlay.
  • the hopping pattern of the overlaid BACH may be different from that of the existing BACHs, such that the impact of BACH collision can be reduced.
  • An example BACH overlay approach is illustrated in Figure 7 , wherein two additional users are systematically and evenly overlaid in a distributed manner throughout the time-frequency plane as represented by the BACH index.
  • the original, or underlying, multiplexing scheme is that illustrated in Figure 5 , with the two additional users, users 5 and 6, overlaid thereon.
  • different BACH indexing for the various cells, sectors, or base stations that are adjacent to one another minimizes the interference from adjacent cells and sectors.
  • An exemplary architecture for implementing the above concepts is illustrated below. Those skilled in the art will recognize the various modifications and changes from that described below that are still within the scope of the teachings herein and the claims that follow.
